This movie was such a joy. As you probably know, the film is about a couple of deaf teenagers that seem to be starting a relationship. While there is sound in the movie, the dialog is sparse and the viewer does get a (very small) feel for what it might be like to be a deaf person in the relationship. But even that description doesn't feel like it does the film justice. The movie is subtle with a capital "S". Few words are spoken, but we can completely see what is going on with the couple and the people in their orbit. The way the story is told allows us to get a different point of view on a relationship that I can't remember seeing in another film. And the final scene - the hypnotic song and the visual are just tremendous together.

At first, the movie might seem a bit slow, mirroring real life where routines dominate. People follow their daily patterns, and then there's that one passion that awakens, like the love for surfing. The journey begins, with small victories earned along the way.
Yet, the heart of the film lies in its conclusion. Sometimes, what's so intrinsic to our lives goes unnoticed until it becomes monumental, and when we glance back, the stream of memories rushes in, painting a canvas of beauty and joy.
Life's allure isn't dullness; it's simply life itself. We often grow accustomed to its rhythm, forgetting the magnificence it holds. True beauty emerges when we embrace life as it is, cherishing every moment. 'A Scene at the Sea' wonderfully captures this essence.
